Scott sends warning to Guyatt

Australian Masters favourite Adam Scott has warned tournament leader Matthew Guyatt that he is gunning for him and feels primed to claim his first victory this year.

Fellow Queenslander Guyatt retained his surprise two-shot lead with a 3-under-par 69 at Melbourne's Kingston Heath in Friday's second round to move to 10-under at the event's mid-point.

World number five Scott, who played in the tougher afternoon conditions, could manage only a 70 to be three shots adrift of Guyatt in third place, with New Zealand's Michael Hendry sitting second on 8-under.

But Scott said he played well as the greens dried out and winds picked up in the afternoon and liked his chances of donning his first gold jacket.
